When buying children's play make-up, prioritise safety by checking for non-toxic, hypoallergenic formulas and avoiding products with harmful chemicals.
Key safety features to look for
- Non-toxic certification: Ensure the product is labelled as non-toxic and safe for children.
- Hypoallergenic: Opt for hypoallergenic make-up to minimise the risk of skin irritation.
- Avoid harmful chemicals: Steer clear of products containing parabens, phthalates, or formaldehyde.
Practical checklist for parents and guardians
- Read labels carefully: Check for safety certifications and ingredient lists.
- Patch test: Apply a small amount on your child’s skin to test for any adverse reactions.
- Age-appropriate products: Choose make-up specifically designed for children.
- Easy to remove: Select products that can be easily washed off with mild soap and water.
Where to buy safely
Look for reputable brands in local stores or online retailers that specialise in children’s products. For adult make-up services, consider Luté Beauty Studio’s Natural Glam service, which focuses on safe, natural ingredients.
